Data as of Sat 4-Sep-2010 when there were 234885 citeable papers
in HEP

Note that citeable papers are all journal and eprint articles for which we
can track citations. Also note that the bins are not cumulative (i.e. a
paper with 512 citations is only counted in the 500+ bin, not in the 50+
and 100+)
